Program Overview
	Who Should Apply? This program is designed for students wishing to teach preschool through Grade 6. The programme is four years in length (120 credits) and is open only to full-time students. Full-time students normally take 30 credits in each semester, that is, a maximum of 15 credits in each of the Fall and Winter terms. Program Structure The programme requires 96 credits for the Specialization programme plus 24 elective credits. The 96 credits involve a stimulating and well-balanced group of selections from three areas: theory courses, method courses, and internships. The internships will be undertaken in preschool, kindergarten, primary and elementary level classes. The programme has a strong emphasis on child development. We believe that it is important to know how children grow and develop in order to better meet their needs. To facilitate this, the internships progress from preschool to higher elementary placements. For further information please consult the University Calendar.
